Answer:
C. 8 x (2 + 9) = (8 x 2) + (8 x 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve to see!
Solve using PEMDAS:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Mulitplication/Division (depending on which one comes first - starting from left to right)
Addition/Subtraction (depending on which one comes first - starting from left to right)
A)
3 x (5 + 1) = 3 + (5 x 1) <== parenthesis first
3(6) = 3 + 5 <== multiply and add
18 = 8
False
B)
5 x (2 + 8) = 10 + 8 <== parenthesis first
5(10) = 10 + 8 <== multiply and add
50 = 18
False
C)
8 x (2 + 9) = (8 x 2) + (8 x 9) <== parenthesis first
8(11) = 16 + 72 <== multiply and add
88 = 88
True
D)
4 + (2 + 9) = (4 + 2) + (4 + 9) <== parenthesis first
4 + 11 = 6 + 13 <== add
15 = 19
False
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
Hope this helps!
